Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum

Meigle Museum’s collection of early medieval sculpture is one of the most important in Western Europe.

The collection’s oldest stone is the 8th-century cross-slab Meigle 1, which bears Pictish symbols, horsemen and animals.

Other highlights include the great 9th-century prayer cross, cross-slab Meigle 2, which may once have stood by the churchyard entrance, and the odd, ornate carvings of animals, birds, horsemen and naked people on Meigle 26, a grave-marker.

Admire the rare architectural fragments of the Pictish church at Meigle, which hint at a sophisticated building and take our fun fact-finding quiz while exploring the museum.
